1) (Principal) Auntie Isabel (Female 50 - 67) ANY RACE: Isabel is one of Ethel’s sisters, a much-loved Aunt to Cher and Sneaky D. She’s been a cop for over thirty years, but not yet ready to retire. Isabel is deaf, and communicates with sign-language, and she is acutely capable of reading lips. She is keen to help Cher clear her name, and does not hesitate when Sneaky D recruits her to surveil Tyson’s home.
Because this character is a central figure in the film, we are strictly looking to cast a Deaf or Hard of Hearing individual who is proficient in American Sign Language (ASL). Prior acting experience is absolutely not required - we are highly eager to meet and discover talent within the community.
2) Frenchie (Male 30 - 49) LITTLE PERSON - ANY RACE
Frenchie is the trusted, highly skilled private investigator employed by Angela and Tony’s law firm. He tackles special cases that require his expertise in forensic accounting, and surveillance. Frenchie’s intel supports Sneaky D’s plan for Cynthia and Angela to break into Tyson’s home, circumventing a complex security system, and cracking his safe no less!
A dapper gentleman prone to occasional Francophile affectations, Frenchie is not actually French - it’s just a nick-name that stuck. (No French accents please)
